I will have my medical soon. Any suggestion or preparation before the exam? A bit concern on my bp, a bit high...

We took our medical during the holiday season.. to make sure that my BP is normal.. i avoided alcohol and eating pork...i also drunk a lot of water with lemon.. it's really a sacrifice but it's worth it..

HB din ako nung nagpamedical ako. OK naman. Wag ka po magalala masyado. 🙂

Thanks very much psychoboy and multitasking. LakiMasel your comment is just what I needed, salamat.

@hotshot: Hindi po ba na referred ang Medical nyo kahit mataas BP nyo? Ako kasi nung nagpamedical ko 130/90 ang BP ko. Sabi ng panel doc baka kinabahan lang daw. Hindi naman sya kumuha ng another BP ko. Hindi kasi talaga ko hypertensive, nung time lang na nagpamedical kami ng family ko. So far, waiting pa ako ng CO, sana hindi ma-referred yung medicals namin. Thanks po!

@chuella : hindi naman. nasa borderline high daw ang bp ko pero nasa normal pa din daw. kumbaga sagad na... baka kinabahan lang din ako. hehehe

Good evening po sa inyo, magla lodge na din po kami ng visa 190 soon. May concern po kami sa medicals...

1st case, yung spouse ko po ay nagme maintenance na para sa HB pressure, although high normal lang naman ang bp nya na tumataas lang kapag na-insomnia sya. Ide declare po ba namin na may hypertension sya? Di po kaya reason yun for being clasified na "does not satisfy the health requirement"

2nd case, yung bunso kong anak went thru primary complex medication 5 years ago nung nasa Pinas pa kami at dito na nagtapos ng inom ng gamot. Although doubtful naman ang doctor nya dito sa SG that he ever had it kasi halos lahat daw ng mga bata from Indonesia/Phils seem to always be diagnosed with Primary complex.

Kailangan po ba namin i declare ang mga ito?

My daughter also had primary complex 10 yrs ago and we declared it during the medical interview.. we believe that because of this na referred yung medical nya that causes the delay of approval....i think this is better than not declaring it.. if we did not declare.. then may nakita sa XRAY nya.. it might cause a bigger problem...

You can also go to this topic (http://www.pinoyau.info/discussion/807/primary-complex-10-yrs-ago-will-this-impact-my-application#Item_4) natanong ko na rin kasi dati yan dito...

Thank you @multitasking. We will just declare it since he went thru treatment naman. We will try to get a certificate/report din from his allergy doctor sa KKH since he was initally diagnosed with astham from young pero na-rule-out ng allergy doctor niya that he only has nose allergy, not asthma. Ka stress ang mga medical conditions ngayon...

I will have my medical 2 weeks from now.

These are the lists I have to undergo: AUD - Audio Standard · Blood Analysis: Fasting Cholesterol & HDL · Blood Analysis: Fasting Glucose · CRS - Cardiac Risk Score · DAS - Laboratory Urine Drug & Alcohol Screen: A/NZ-S 4308: 2008 · ECG (Resting) · MUSC - Musculoskeletal Assessment · SPIRO - Spirometry · VO2 MAX - Fitness Testing.

Sa mga nakapagpamedical na, have you done same exam above and how long did it take to finish? On my case ako Lang ang magmemedical not my wife and 2 kids.

My other preparation is doing some exercise. Kasi yung vo2 max involve some physical exercise.

Salamat.

457 Visa.

@merc2013: if I may ask, from where or how did you obtain the list of tests you have to undergo?

It was sent to me by email from the medical representative of the company where I applied.

Husker

thanks! oo nga pala, 457 Visa ka eh 🙂 medyo na concerned ako kasi yung na receive ko na email from my CO didn't really contain a list of tests I should undergo. Pero na confirm naman sa panel physician the needed tests through the HRI number.

hello po!

couldn't help but comment, curiosity just got the better of me. 🙂

I'm also on a 457 po, but the most I did was blood test for hep B, hep C, HIV kasi I'll be working with sick patients. Rest was standard: urine and CXR. No fasting, no exercise. Tsaka, yung CO ang nagsabi sa akin what tests I needed for the visa, rather than the company who hired me.

These tests are so high-falluting po kasi. And sigurado, ang mamahal nito. If I may add: yung cardiac score po is more of an assessment rather than a test itself. Spirometry din ginagawa kung may problema talaga kayo tipong asthmatic or chronic lunger etc.

Sir, if I may ask: ano po work eto? 🙂

Hi Nadine. All my medical will be shouldered by the company. Swerte ko wala ako gastos, hopefully kasama na airfare tsaka 1 month accommodation. Job is related sa railway.

Galing ako sa LRT dati...
